New to Camaro World

frakenjack · 09-17-2025, 07:15 AM

Hello everyone,
I am new to the Camero world, my father passed away recently and left this car to me. It is a 2020 SS. I have been trying to figure what work he has done to it. I know it has a tune and K&N air intake. Can anyone tell from the pictures if it has headers installed.
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum. Need better pictures re: headers.

It's low on coolant. Read your manual for how to, and fix your spelling.

Take some pictures of the side of the engine, under the engine cover with the Camaro script.

Looks like this is an SS 1LE aka track edition, great wheels and improved brakes. Other than that, the intake is obvious, and if the car has headers, it should be much louder than a "normal" car. You may not be able to compare it to a stock SS, but you probably know what I mean. If it has a cam, judging from the state of the engine bay it will have some lope that should be obvious.

Do add some coolant, yours is very low. If you have the manual, see it as Gunkk advised, but if not, you're supposed to fill the top chamber completely and the lower expansion tank to half level (via the small fill tube on the side).

Can not tell by the pics other than it has a K&N CAI. But it needs some maintenance...I would add coolant, change the air filter, and wash the engine bay. Also check the hydraulic pulley tensioner left of the crank pulley to see if it's leaking fluid.... replace if leaking.

Cool car. Don't wreck it

hrpiii · 09-17-2025, 09:00 AM

nice car, just needs a little TLC. You can tell he drove it a lot, which means he really enjoyed the car. How many miles are on it, we could probably tell you the service it may need or checked.

Here is the page from the manual for topping off the coolant.

+1 on washing the engine bay lol

Sorry for the loss of your father, my very deepest condolences... But you came asking about the car... I agree with others, the number one thing you can do is seriously detail the engine compartment, you've got a great car there, bring it back to where it should be...

This is what your 2020 SS should be looking like (and could be with a couple hours of serious engine detailing...)

(This is my 2020 SS... With 11,000+ miles on it...)

Toss that K&N air strainer in the trash.

bishopts · 09-20-2025, 09:45 AM

I think a good thing to know for all of us is. How much do you know about cars? How interested in the car are you? What do you want to do with it?

Road racing? Daily driver? Weekend cruiser? Back up car?
Also does it stay in a garage?

Everyone talkin about detailing the engine bay... God I feel like such a bum. You don't want to see mine.
